Is KET right for you?
A KET course is a class broadcast on the Kentucky Educational Network. Students are required to watch a weekly program, complete readings in a textbook, and submit assignments to the local instructor. Most KET courses require the student to come to campus for face-to-face meetings or exams. Communication with the instructor is by telephone, FAX, or e-mail. See ACC’s Distance Learning Schedule for requirements of individual classes.
Taking this self-assessment instrument will help you determine if a KET class is right for you.

1. I have reliable access to KET on my home television at the time classes are broadcast.
2. I have reliable access to a VCR.
3. I am able to work and learn independently with little need for direct supervision.
4. My schedule does not allow attendance for on-campus classes.
5. I plan to allocate at least as much time in my schedule for the KET course I want to take as I would for a similar course taught by more traditional methods. For most KET courses this will be twelve or more hours a week.

If you answered “yes” to the above questions, a KET class may be right for you. Before registering discuss the special demands of a KET class with the instructor or your advisor.
